An 89-year-old Stuttgart woman was injured in a residential burglary Friday morning. The suspect was not apprehended.

"(The victim) stated that she woke up and found that there was no electricity at their house and looked out the back window and saw what she thought were flames and went over to the window to look … when she got to the window a man grabbed her arm through the window and twisted it and then hit her on the head with something and started screaming," Stuttgart Police Department Sgt. Keith Smith wrote in his SPD incident report that was released Monday morning.

The woman's husband, a 92-year-old, woke up to the screams of his wife at their home in the 200 block of West Hastings. The couple said the suspect, a black male dressed in dark clothing with a bandanna over his mouth and nose, had a knife and a flashlight. The suspect opened the couple's drawers in all the bedrooms of the home and stated that he wanted all their money and firearms. The man took only the couple's grocery money, which was estimated at $50.

The woman was transported to Baptist Health Medical Center-Stuttgart for treatment.

The suspect was further described as around 5-8, stocky build and possibly middle aged. Smith's incident report shows the officer arriving at the home at 7:34 p.m., but lists the incident taking place from sometime between midnight and 7 a.m.
